Pension Auto Enrolment

All employers with at least one worker in the UK will need to automatically enrol certain members of their workforce into a pension scheme. As an employer you will need to make a contribution to it and ensure that you meet all of the new requirements to comply with the law (even if you already offer pension arrangements for your workers you will still have some new obligations to meet).

When will this affect me?

The new employer duties will be introduced in stages over six years. Each employer will be allocated a date from when the changes will first apply to them, known as the “staging date”. The first staging date will be in October 2012 and will continue through to 2016. If you’re unsure on your staging date we can help you.
